@isthisriehlelife: A lot of curiosity around eating after having my tongue removed, so here’s another video. Hoping I helped explain some of it! I’m blown away by all the love on my last video! I’m so glad you’re all here. It as an incredible blessing to receive all the love and support but ALSO to spread awareness and advocate for the community of head and neck cancer warriors! I got a lot of questions I’m going to try and help answer in the next few videos! @Kraft foods make these little beef stroganoff kits and they’ve been great on my road back to solids! 👏🏼 @H-E-B #glossectomy #tonguecancer #cancersurvivor #OvercomeYourFear #cancersucks #mukbang
They make glossectomy spoons that push the food back.

Since the tongue is where our tastebuds are, what can you still taste? (Thanks for being so open with us!)

You are amazing! My husband also lost 1/3 of his tongue to cancer. He taught himself to eat and talk because no one has time for more doctors 😂

Thank you for sharing this journey - you’re doing an incredible job. I’m curious if you have been offered partials/implants for your back teeth and/or a tongue prosthesis? I’m an SLP and I know these are possible avenues for some glossectomy folks so just wondering!

We will sit with you while you eat anytime. It’s all progress. Even some getting stuck is ok. It teaches you how to handle these things. It gives you confidence that you can handle it. You are doing so good!

Can I respectfully ask why you take quick loud breaths in like that? Is that a result of the removal somehow? I’m just so curious, it’s crazy how much your tongue actually does when you think about it!

I am so sorry but I had a hair on my phone while watching this and didn’t notice it was MY phone with the hair until most of the way through and I screamed “DONT! STOP! THERE IS A HAIR!” 🤦🏻♀️I had to rewatch the video just to make sure 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️

You are amazing! Thank you so much for sharing what I’m sure is a vulnerable moment! 🥹❤️If you’re ok answering…can you get teeth implants where they were removed and would that help? Also are there any options for any sort of tongue like implant? If that’s the right word!

I can see why you don't eat very much in one sitting. Thank you for sharing details of your experience and journey like this. If I ever meet someone with a similar experience, hopefully I will have a better understanding of what they're going through.

Does not having a tongue make it harder to chew? Is that why you’re not chewing?
